. Your fragments don't have enough context to judge appropriateness.
Timing = the synchronization of the time and the event. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

| For example, you must check the safety of car engine before driving (not after driving). Should I say you should check the safety of car at an appropriate time or appropriate timing. |

For example, you are hungry and you came to a restaurant in time when it was just opened for dinner. Your timing is great. On the other hand, if you came to a restaurant too late and it is closed for the day; your timing is not so good. It is actually bad. _________________ con·text - The part of a text or statement that surrounds a particular word or passage and determines its meaning. |
